This recipe is a base for you to let your imagination run wild. There are so many things you can do. Stir in a little pureed pine nuts, add some lemon juice, or use smoked olive oil for a real treat.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a very nice as a dip with fresh vegetables like zucchini, carrots, and celery. It is also a really tasty and healthy sandwich spread. The possibilities are endless. Experiment to see what you like.<\/p>\n<p>This is the best hummus recipe for when you need to make something quick and filling. It&rsquo;s naturally gluten-free and palm oil free. I give directions for roasting tomatoes to add on top which is optional.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m a big fan of making as many foods at home as possible. This is an easy recipe to make from canned or dried chickpeas.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Canned_or_Dried_Chickpeas\"><\/span>Using Canned or Dried Chickpeas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 \"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Using_Canned_or_Dried_Chickpeas\" title=\"Using Canned or Dried Chickpeas\">Using Canned or Dried Chickpeas<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#How_to_Make_Hummus\" title=\"How to Make Hummus\">How to Make Hummus<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#How_to_Make_Hummus-2\" title=\"How to Make Hummus\">How to Make Hummus<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Tips_for_Making\" title=\"Tips for Making&nbsp;\">Tips for Making&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#What_to_Eat_With_Hummus\" title=\"What to Eat With Hummus\">What to Eat With Hummus<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Add-In_Ingredients\" title=\"Add-In Ingredients\">Add-In Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Hummus_Recipe_Ideas\" title=\"Hummus Recipe Ideas\">Hummus Recipe Ideas<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#FAQs\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Using_Pantry_Staples\" title=\"Using Pantry Staples\">Using Pantry Staples<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Delicious_Dip\" title=\"Delicious Dip\">Delicious Dip<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/hummus\/#Hummus\" title=\"Hummus\">Hummus<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>You can use canned chickpeas or garbanzo beans to make this easy.

Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, are the base ingredient for hummus. It&rsquo;s easy to make with canned chickpeas or dried chickpeas.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze hummus?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze hummus in an airtight container for up to three months. Be sure to freeze it when it is completely cooled.<\/p>\n<h3>What is hummus made of?<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional hummus is made of chickpeas which are also called garbanzo beans. Tahini is also a staple ingredient. Many recipes include garlic and olive oil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Is hummus keto?<\/h3>\n<p>Most nutrition experts agree this is not keto. The chickpeas contain carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<h3>Is this gluten free?<\/h3>\n<p>Hummus is naturally gluten free. However, watch for the sides if you use it as a dip. Pita bread, naan, and breads contain gluten unless they are certified gluten free.<\/p>\n<h3>Is hummus healthy?<\/h3>\n<p>Nutrition experts say it&rsquo;s healthy as it is made from legumes and other natural ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does hummus last?<\/h3>\n<p>It will last up to five days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you store hummus?<\/h3>\n<p>To store it properly, put it away when room temperature. Transfer to airtight container and put it in the refrigerator on a shelf, not on the door.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Pantry_Staples\"><\/span>Using Pantry Staples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keeping cans of chickpeas and tahini in your kitchen cabinet means you can make a batch of hummus anytime. It&rsquo;s a forgiving recipe so if you don&rsquo;t have all the extras, you can still make it taste great.<\/p>\n<p>I always have a bottle of Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Organic Olive oil as a staple ingredient. It&rsquo;s one of the many <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/costco-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Costco foods<\/a> I buy regularly. I like that I can buy organic and know that it&rsquo;s pure olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I usually have a counter dish filled with fresh garlic. And spices last a long time, so I have those on hand as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, dried chickpeas are less expensive than canned making it more budget-friendly. Stores sell organic tahini and organic chickpeas if that fits in your budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See our list of <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/vegan-pantry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegan pantry staples<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delicious_Dip\"><\/span>Delicious Dip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I got in the habit of making most all of our foods from scratch. The reason for this is because my son gets sick from palm oil. We consider him to have a palm oil allergy and sensitivity. While hummus in grocery stores appears to be palm oil free, I&rsquo;ve never taken the chance. Instead, I decided to make my own.<\/p>\n<p>I learned some simple recipes and expanded from there. I&rsquo;m lucky my son eats a lot of fruits and vegetables. Making this hummus recipe is a way for him to enjoy vegetables to change them up. I also can pack it in a reusable container and send it in his school lunch.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to our household being palm oil free, I am gluten free as well. I enjoy making this recipe because I can safely eat it too.<\/p>\n<p>Love making dips and sauces?
